5. Each audience member had a specific packaged specific to their seat position. The package included- a cardboard octagon-shaped box (printed to look like a drum), a drum stick, a coloured poncho, and coloured torch and a white torch.

7. Jeff and his fellow volunteers were rushing around placing packages on the audience member’s seats. The gates opened at 2:00 pm and less than an hour before the stadium opened, there were still TONS of boxes lying around.
